Dear Rose and family.
As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.
I know Glenn many years in the ambulance business. We would share our ideas while sitting at a Boyertown High school basketball game. God Bless you all.

Respectfully,
John M. Koltonuk
Retired Board member of G.A.C.A.S.

When we were using landline phones, I loved to hear the answering message spoken by Glenn.
He was such a fine man. He never wanted to upset or disrespect anyone. So, he would say,
" please leave your name and and number at the beep. If you don´t want to do so, that´s ok, too."
What a wonderful man. He will be missed. Rosie, we are thinking of you and your family. God Bless.
Love, Debbie and Ralph Eidle
